The highest sand dune in the whole country is a whopping 43 meters high, 51 counting some stairs, and it’s in Bloemendaal, surrounded by some of the priciest real estate in Holland. Just to show you how flat this part of the world is – I could see Schiphol tower and the skyscrapers in Amsterdam 25 kilometers away. We were there early this morning for some warm waffles way ahead of the brunch time crowd and had the viewing deck all to ourselves. There wasn’t really much to see but it was a nice enough day for a Sunday drive in the country.
